Economics 440Public FinanceFall 2016Allen HeadAssignment 1(Due Friday, September 30th)1. Pure exchange economies are completely described by specifications of agents’ preferencesand endowments. Consider the following two good, two agent pure exchange economy:• Let xhi denote agent h’s consumption of good i, where i = 1, 2 and h = 1, 2.• Let ? h = (?1h , ?2h ) denote the quantities of goods x1 and x2 with which agent h isinitially endowed. Let ? = (? 1 , ? 2 ) be the aggregate endowment.Preferences:U 1 (x11 , x12 ) = 3×11 + 2×12(1)U 2 (x21 , x22 ) = x21 + 2×22(2)Endowments:?1 = (2, 4)?2 = (3, 4).(3)a. Draw an Edgeworth box diagram for this economy showing the set of Pareto efficientallocations.b. For one of the allocations in your diagram that is not Pareto efficient, identify inyour diagram (one of) the other feasible allocations Pareto superior to it. Explain.c. Is the endowment a Pareto efficient allocation? Why or why not?d. Do agents have equal marginal rates of substitution at the Pareto efficient allocations in this economy? If so, explain why this is important. If not, explain howthis can be.12. Consider the following economy with two agents and two consumption goods, one ofwhich is used to produce the other. Let Household h’s consumption of the two goodsbe denoted xh1 and xh2 respectively, where h = 1, 2.Preferences:Household h has preferences given by:Uh (xh1 , xh2 ) = ln xh1 + 2 ln xh2h = 1, 2.Endowments:Both households are endowed with 2 units of good one (i.e. ?1h ). There is no endowmentof good two.Technology:Let Y2 denote the total amount of good two available to the economy. It is producedusing good one, by means of the following technology:14 ? (x11 + x21 )3where the term in brackets on the right-hand side of the equation above is the amountof good one that is used as an input to production of good two rather than consumed.Y2 =Consider the problem of a “social planner” who maximizes an equally weighted sumof agents’ utilities subject to the feasibility constraints.a. Write down the social welfare maximization problem that the planner solves.b. Use this problem to derive necessary conditions for an allocation to be Paretoefficient in this economy.c. Calculate the allocation that maximizes social welfare.d. Show how problems of this sort can be used to find all of the Pareto efficientallocations for this economy. Note: You do not have to find all of these allocations,just show how you could do so.

Profit Center Responsibility Reporting A-One Freight Inc. has three regional divisions organized as profit centers. The chief executive officer (CEO) evaluates divisional performance using operating income as a percent of revenues. The following quarterly income and expense accounts were provided from the trial balance as of December 31, 20Y3. Revenues—Air Division $ 1,104,600 Revenues—Rail Division 1,295,000 Revenues—Truck Division 2,401,200 Operating Expenses—Air Division 700,000 Operating Expenses—Rail Division 770,700 Operating Expenses—Truck Division 1,452,100 Corporate Expenses—Shareholder Relations 168,000 Corporate Expenses—Customer Support 613,800 Corporate Expenses—Legal 207,900 General Corporate Officers’ Salaries 371,000 The company operates three service departments: Shareholder Relations, Customer Support, and Legal. The Shareholder Relations Department conducts a variety of services for shareholders of the company. The Customer Support Department is the company’s point of contact for new service, complaints, and requests for repair. The department believes that the number of customer contacts is an activity base for this work. The Legal Department provides legal services for division management. The department believes that the number of hours billed is an activity base for this work. The following additional information has been gathered:

   Air    Rail    Truck
Number of customer contacts 5,000 5,900 8,900
Number of hours billed 800 1,300 1,200

Division management does not control activities related to the shareholder relations department and general corporate officers’ salaries.

Required:

a. Prepare quarterly income statements showing operating income for the three divisions. Use three column headings: Air, Rail, and Truck.

A-One Freight Inc.
Divisional Income Statements
For the Quarter Ended December 31, 20Y3
Air Rail Truck
Revenues $ $ $
Operating expenses
Operating income before service department charges $ $ $
Less service department charges:
Customer support $ $ $
Legal
Total service department charges $ $ $
Operating income $ $ $

Feedback

1. Determine the customer contact rate by dividing service cost by output. For each division's customer support, multiply the customer contact rate by the number of customer contacts. Repeat this process for the other service department charges. Subtract the service department charges for a division from that division's operating income before such charges.

b. What is the profit margin percentage of each division? Round to one decimal place.

Division Profit Margin
Air Division %
Rail Division %
Truck Division %

Identify the most successful division according to the profit margin percentage.
Truck

3. All of the following statements are true regarding the evaluation of divisional performance for A-1 except:

  1. A better measure for A-1 Freight than the amount of operating income per dollar of earned revenue would be either rate of return on investment or residual income, because both measures incorporate asset utilization into the measures.
  2. A better measure for A-1 Freight than the amount of operating income per dollar of earned revenue would be either rate of return on investment or residual income, because the amount of assets used by a division in earning a return is a very important consideration in evaluating divisional performance.
  3. A better measure for A-1 Freight than the amount of operating income per dollar of earned revenue would be either rate of return on investment or residual income, because this company requires a significant investment in fixed assets and distribution facilities.
  4. All of these choices are correct.

Select the correct answer from the choices above.:

need help with questions 2-7MGMT 650 Fall 2016 Problem Set 11)Using the data file, GRADSURVEY, answer the following:a)What does a row correspond to in the table?b)How many variables are measured on each row?c)For each variable, would you describe it as primarilycategorical, or quantitative? If quantitative, what are theunits? If categorical, is it ordinal or simply nominal?d)Are these data a time series, or are these crosssectional?2. A quality characteristic of interest for a tea-bag-fillingprocess is the weight of the tea in the individual bags. If thebags are under filled, two problems arise. First, customersmay not be able to brew the tea to be as strong as theywish. Second, the company may be in violation of the truthin-labeling laws. In this example, the label weight on thepackage indicates that, on average, there are 5.5 grams oftea in a bag. If the average amount of tea in a bag exceedsthe label weight, the company is giving away product.Getting an exact amount of tea in a bag is problematicbecause of variation in the temperature and humidity insidethe factory, differences in the density of the tea, and theextremely fast filling operation of the machine(approximately 170 bags a minute). The following tableprovides the weight in grams of a sample of 50 bagsproduced in one hour by a single machine:5.85 5.84 5.425.45.53 5.34 5.54 5.45 5.52 5.415.57 5.4 5.535.67 5.4 5.475.77 5.57 5.425.61 5.45 5.445.545.615.585.255.55 5.62 5.66 5.465.53 5.32 5.67 5.295.68 5.5 5.32 5.55.56 5.63 5.5 5.575.645.495.535.675.515.555.585.36a.

What are your recommendations to thecompany, based on your reading for this week?d. Interpret the measures of central tendency within thecontext of this problem. Why should the companyproducing the tea bags be concerned about the centraltendency?e. Interpret the measures of variation within the context ofthis problem. Why should the company producing thetea bags be concerned about variation?3.
